There is a company of actors at this place
that every one should see. Agnes Wallace

full in the parts they take-powerful be-
cause most natural, and it is really treat
not often experienced to see the young

the pile his ears were greeted by the first
words of that popular song commencing
''How can leave thee" I'll show you

Just 33L per cent. The overcoatS are too
much stirred up now to engage iii vocal
demonstrations, but Mr.. Davis is con-
tinually humming:

Goodbye my ulsterS, goodbye,
They're all of 'em filled with satisfied men,
Goodbye my ulsters, goodbye.
There NAV be a little fiction in this state

courtly graces and bewitching smiles to the
charms of our own loved lassies; and as
they tripped past us on the Eight fantastic

boy again. If any of our bachelor friends
failed to find their valentine on that
night, they have Missed most glorious OPP

themselves to such an extent they seemed
to take no note of time save from its loss.
